How To HotKey Opening A File In An AppVm?

Say I have an appVM running, with files I want to access with a single hotkey.

Is it possible to wire up a hotkey that will open a file in an AppVM? If so, hows it done?

qvm-run offline "libreoffice ~/Documents/secrets.odt"

  • with qvm-run you can execute commands in a qube
  • offline being the name of the example qube
  • libreoffice ~/Documents/secrets.odt being the command

Then you simply hook this up in XFCE settings | Keyboard | Application Shortcuts
